Additional resources to include matching funds and online giving capabilities are provided to volunteers who submit an application demonstrating that their effort meets Lend A Hand guidelines to include:- The recipient has substantial out-of-pocket medical expenses
- The recipient is a current resident of Cass County, ND or Clay County, MN (1 year residency minimum)
- There is a volunteer committee with a designated lead volunteer willing to oversee meetings, fundraising activities, and communication (the lead volunteer should not be a member of the recipient's immediate household)
- A benefit fund is in place at a bank/credit union for donation collection and management with at least two title signers; one representing the recipient, and one representing the volunteer committee
- A future fundraising effort is planned (past efforts are not eligible)
- The fundraising effort has the support of a nonprofit organization located within Cass County, ND or Clay County, MN (for example; a church, public school, medical, fraternal or community service organization)
- The recipient and volunteer committee are willing to work in partnership with DMF Lend A Hand to promote fundraising activities, online giving options, and DMF Lend A Hand matching funds
Applications should be submitted to the DMF Lend A Hand office by the 15th day of the month for an effort scheduled in a future month(s). Ideally, an application should be submitted 6-8 weeks prior to a scheduled fundraising event and/or before marketing efforts are underway. This provides greater opportunity to work together and to maximize Lend A Hand resources.
